How to Make a Cheese Spanish Omelette by Canadian Recipes of the Great White North

Cooking Skills
Breakfast can be one of the easiest starting points of mastering your cooking skills. Three decades ago I began my career in the culinary arts program, with the very first class in the "Breakfast" Lab.

In the classroom you learn the general technical aspects of what an egg does for cooking. But of course the science of cooking can be very boring, as any young cook your "Stoked!" to begin the cooking adventure.

Born into the Business
My parents ran the Spudnut Shop in Vernon,British Columbia

Preparing an omelette was one of our first labs in cooking procedures. The fun was about to begin! We had a choice of making any omelette we pleased, as long as you were willing for the instructor to have a taste test. In the Lab, the Chef Instructor prepared an omelette first and now it was our turn.

We all headed to the kitchen lab to begin our very first task. First and most importantly, you must get
your small wares ( pans and utensils), have a written recipe ready from the night before and a mise
en place ( prep) of your food products. So - first I had my small saute' pan with spatula and my ingredients.

Ingredients:

•  2 whole eggs
• 2 tsp of Olive Oil or Grape seed Oil ( I prefer grape seed oil)
•  1/4 cup of Grated Cheeses
• 1/8 cup of  Chopped Green Peppers
• 1/8 cup of Chopped Red Peppers
• 1/8 cup of fine chopped sweet white onion
• 1/8 cup of Fresh Chopped Roma Tomato
• Sprinkle of Cayenne spice ( easy does it!)
• Few drops of hot sauce of your choice

Topping: 1/4 cup of Tomato Salsa and 1 tablespoon of Sour Cream
